A Sllnrtllnnl Story.

Even experts arc deceived at times. l
recall in this connection the famous short
hand "fake." A member Of this profess
sion, I believe, wrote o story for a paper
MS u joke, in which he described short
hand writer in Washington sitting be-
tween two meetings of opposite politics
aid taking verbatim reports of both, ono
with cach hand. The story was pub
lishetl in an American journal us a joke,
but, 10! an English scientific journal took
it up and published ii for q fact, and to
the amazement of the author eXpatiatcd
upon the achievements of man. 1t went
the rounds of the English shorthand jour
nails, and the Washington shorthand re-
porters enjoyed it.--"Observcr" i'll PiIila

as the inventive genius of the family can
supply and the dogs limited compreheE-

the principal dover of the pug, it does not
wear itself out trying to learn anything.

you think you arc we'll you are well, and
per contra if you think you are sick you
arc sick. The second scene in the pro-
logue of "Clnudian" is damp and

man in the parquet circle the other night
VINO sneezed violently three times as soon
as this scene was on. He explained after

What Society Never Forcives

A man can get all his other work done
out for him; his painting, his sculpture,
bis music. his law, his finance, even his
thinking he can get done out for him,
pretty cheap, too. Mr.. Bennett once said
that nothing was so dirt cheap as brains.
But he cannot get the conduct of life
done out for him. II he prefers to lead
an indolent and useless life, some fine day
he will get up in the morning and find an
society with it's back turned; he runs the
risk; he need hope for no quarter. Society
never forgives the sins it has fostered.-

The Tendons OF a Dog.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS, March "a
The success of wonderful surgical
operation, performed in this city nearly
year ago, has just been demonstrated.
Seventeen years ago Edward <. Russell
met with an accident in which the ten.
dons in one of his legs we're severed,
rendering the limb useless: The opera.
ton consisted of the transferring of two
tendons from dog, which had been
etherized for the purpose, to Russell's
limb, where they were united with the
severed tendons in that member. For
ten months after the operation Russell
was not allowed to use his leg, but within
few days he has been permitted to
exercise it. He has now resumed his
work, and has complete control of the
limb, the operation having proved to be
an entire success. This is the first time
that this operation has been performed
in this country, thong b it has heen pre-
viously attempted with only partial sue
cess.

THE PEARL OF PEACE.

bivalve feeding in the warm, salt sea
Draws inward with the wave sandy grain,
Which, not returning with tho wave again.
Remains henceforth its secret grief to be.
Day after day, so SEQ wise folk agree,
Tho creature hides it in dew like rain
OF ceaseless tears, till, hardened out of pain,
A precious pearl Is fashioned perfectly.
From outer seas of passion, seas of strife,
There drifts at times upon the human heart,
A secret, ranking grief that day by day
We cover with the bitter tears Of life,
Till, wrought Of pain, from out our nobler par
The pearl of peace remains with US nlway.

one morning and was sitting undressed
{ on chair in his bedroom. His minister
of the household stood before him holding
the royal stockings, one Of which had q
great hole in the toe. Now although the
minister presented The hose as alroitly as
possible, in order to hide that sud defect
HON the eyes Of the king, and although
ssthe king in general way thought more
@of shining boots than Of mended stock

instance the hole did catch the royal eye.

the horror Of his minister, and plunging

One OF the most remarkable performance
during this session of the legislature Is to h,
credited to the committee on agriculture. AL
though but little noticed at the time It oc
CURED last week, it was very noticeable in
stance OF legislation according to faith. The
committee had been ordered by the Senate
70 discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of taking away
some OF the er-o6icto positions Of Mr.. Gil
bert, who Is, by virtue of his position as Sec.
rotary OF the Board of Agriculture, trustee
Oh the State College, director of the exper.
lment station, and a cattle commissioner.
Inc investigating committee, with but
one dissenting member, had de-
clded that Mr. sSilbert's yarious
onices has seriously impaired his efficiency as
acattle commissioner, in one notable in
stance, the outbreak at the State College.
Two members Of that investigating commit
Tee Representative Libby, who was the one
dissenting member, and Senator Allen. who
lully concurred in the report, are members
OF tne agricultural committee. The rest Of
the latter committee had not themselves in
vestigated Mr.. Gilbert's conduct. and thew
mad the report of the majority of the inyesti-
eating committee, one Of whom was with
them, that Mr.. Gilbert had enjoyed too MANY
oinces Tor the public good. Yet, they voted
almost unanimously, Senator Allen alone
dissenting, that they had full confidence IN
Secretary Gilbert and his ability to fill four
Offices at once.
